the Live Media as bootable disk partition

[Xenogears6]

hi all
i want to make a bootable partition using the Live Media or even the RHEL Rescue Disk, but i really dont know from where to start.

i want it because i own some remote servers which i need to do maintenance tasks on, so i cant boot from CD-Roms.

thank you!

You can't use ssh?

You can't use ssh?


of course i can remote control the servers
what i need is the abillity to boot from other "rescue" partition so i can do stuff on the main partitions of the servers.

of course i can install another root partition as backup, but i want to make a bootable partition using the Live Media or any Rescue Disk, because its lite.

is that even possible? :p

Doing "Stuff" Hardly qualifies as a requirement to remote boot into a machine. If you mean install then :

Otherwise, there is very little you can't do with ssh provided that you have the root password.
